My wife works in a boys hostel where the boys are mainly from country areas, one of the boys gave her an eye fillet of fallow deer. I know I can giggle it but I'd like the opinions from likes of parts? Who may have cooked it. I've had venison cooked by a friend of mine on the west coast, hot and quick was his advice, so I've never had it since he cooked it. My son is a big fan of venison so I've decided to give it to him. Should I keep some for myself ? And how would you cook it??

Well Pard, thanks for the confidence and indeed I have smoked, bbq'd, grilled, baked and fried my share of Bambi Meat but there are lots of Members here that have done the same. Bottom Line is that it will get dry and very quickly if you don't watch out, especially those free-lays so grill them like you would a good steak and definitely keep some for yourself. If they are thin sliced, you might consider just frying them.

My favorite venison recipe is plain ol floured and fried tenderloin or backstrap as we call it with some cream gravy.

One thing more I might add is this. The taste of Venison starts when the hunter picks it up in the field. If he or she doesn't do the right thing then that's where the bad venison, that you hear people speak of, comes from.
